In contrast, that same poll shows that Obama leads Romney by only 3 percentage points and Perry by 12 points.

The Secretary of State has repeatedly said “no” when asked whether she would run for president, in 2012 or 2016. Asked on NBC’s “Today” two weeks ago whether she would consider running for president again, Clinton said unequivocally, “no.”

“I’m very privileged to have had the opportunity to serve my country. I’m really old-fashioned. I feel I have made my contribution. I have done the best I can. But now I want to try some other things. I want to get back to writing and maybe some teaching, working on women and girls around the world,” Clinton said on Oct. 17. “I think it’s time for others to step up.”

It's because she's sane. The Republican nominees are all nuttier than Snickers bars. They're so out of touch with mainstream Americans and catering to their extreme members of Big Religion, they're pushing themselves right out of contention, to say nothing of the fact that they are all shredding one another like starving dogs over an old bone. Romney's the only one who stands a chance because he's not in a constant state of hysterics or randomly throwing out whatever he thinks the public wants to hear ("999!" "Flat tax!" "Abortion!"). Americans better wise up to Big Religion, which is a wolf in sheep's clothing, insinuating itself into politics -- look up the Seven Mountains movement if you want a wake-up call.

Hillary Clinton will not run in 2012. This is still a dangerous world. She is doing a great job as Secretary of State. She will not challenge the sitting democratic president. Democrats have loved her so much before and since 1990. Going against Obama will mean historic fight they had in 2008 and it will benefit the GOP.

More surprising is how weak the Republicans are even when the economy is in a bad shape.

Say the economy improves a small bit bfore 2012 then the Republicans are in real trouble.

Yet you see Obama beating Republicans, or Romney just beating Obama in polls. Have a look at 2004 and 2008 presidential elections. It was a very very close. Just like the next election will be. The democratic core vote is larger than the GOP and the GOP field is weak.

My work revolves around numbers. So 'unelectable' is baseless from looking at the numbers.

I can only dream Hillary would be a president one day. But more accurately it is the most plausible.

So will Obama. Perry is doing his best to show Romney for the souless politician he is and an incredible flip flopper (short for say one thing and then do another). Obama is the country's only hope to be rid of these interlopers in our lives. REPUBS REPRESENT THE GREED AND AVARICE THAT IS DOOMING THE COUNTRY TO REPEAT 2000-2008. Send the evil ones back to whatever rock they are slithering out of.

When will Obama pop the question? She has become one of the greatest politicians in our time without having to sell her soul and her poll numbers keep rising. She has the most beautiful smile for a woman who plays poker at the level of Obama. He would do well for himself if he considers the card that will give him a sure win. Obama/Clinton 2012!

WASHINGTON (Lucia Mutikani) - Economic growth increased at its fastest in a year in the third quarter as consumers and businesses set aside fears about the recovery and stepped up spending, creating momentum that could carry into the final three months of the year.

Though part of the increase came from the reversal of temporary factors that had restrained growth, the expansion was a welcome relief for an economy that looked on the brink of recession just weeks ago.

U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said in its first estimate on Thursday. That was a big acceleration from the 1.3 percent pace in the April-June quarter and matched economists' expectations.

"The probability of a double-dip has diminished quite a bit," said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University in the Channel Islands. He made the comments before the release of the report.

I think Ameica has had enough ot the vacuous liberal/progressive attempts to destroy America with their insidious plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.

Hillary's Admiration for Saul Alinsky

In 1969 Hillary wrote her 92-page senior thesis on the theories of radical Chicago organizer Saul Alinsky. A great admirer of Alinsky's activist tactics, she personally interviewed the famed author for her project and concluded her thesis by stating:

"Alinsky is regarded by many as the proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy. As such, he has been feared -- just as Eugene Debs [the five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President] or Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared, because each embraced the most radical of political faiths -- democracy."

Ultimately, Hillary's investigation of Alinsky's methods and ideals led her to conclude that President Lyndon Johnson's federal antipoverty programs did not go far enough in redistributing wealth among the American people and did not give sufficient power to the poor.

When Hillary graduated from Wellesley in 1969, she was offered a job with Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) in Chicago. She opted instead to enroll at Yale Law School. Nevertheless, she would maintain her allegiance to Alinsky's teachings throughout her adult life.

According to a March 2007 Washington Post report: "As first lady, Clinton occasionally lent her name to projects endorsed by the [IAF].... She raised money and attended two events organized by the Washington Interfaith Network, an IAF affilia te."
